De Quervain's tenosynovitis is thought to occur most frequently in women, with presentation of pain and swelling in the first dorsal extensor sheath.

To investigate changes in lengths of the ligaments stabilizing the distal radioulnar joint during forearm pronation and supination in vivo. ⋯ These in vivo measurements validate that in forearm pronation, the dorsal superficial radioulnar ligament and palmar deep radioulnar ligament tighten, serving as restraints for the distal radioulnar joint instability. In forearm supination, the palmar superficial radioulnar ligament and dorsal deep radioulnar ligament tighten, maintaining stability of the distal radioulnar joint.
